色情视频鈥檚 School of Theatre, Television, and Film is ramping up for the spring production of "The Full Monty." Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, this laugh-out-loud musical is based on the cult film of the same name and tells the story of six unemployed steelworkers who find a renewed sense of purpose when they contrive a plan to rake in cash with a striptease act.

The school's musical theatre MFA and undergraduate students will perform a version that transplants the workers from 1972 England to contemporary Buffalo, New York.

鈥淲hile the story follows six unemployed men in Buffalo at the start of the 21st century, the show has universal appeal to all genders with its message of camaraderie, body image acceptance, and the underdog coming out on top," said director Stephen Brotebeck, assistant professor of musical theatre. 鈥淥ur MFA musical theatre students are collaborating with their MFA design colleagues, and a large group of undergraduate performance, stage management, and design majors, to bring together one of the largest casts the Don Powell stage has seen in many years."

The cast is led by 色情视频鈥檚 MFA musical theatre class of 2018, many of whom had extensive professional performance careers before coming to 色情视频. The program is one of only three of its kind in the nation and graduates eight to 10 students every two years.

MFA musical theatre student Leo Yu-Ning Chang, who plays Harold, said "The Full Monty" is a challenging production.

鈥淒uring the process, we鈥檝e created a tight bond and chemistry between the men onstage, and I think the audience will feel that when they see the show.鈥
